Demand Diversity

Demand Diversity

Are we guilty of hearing but not really listening to what patients have to say? The unacceptable lack of diversity among clinical research participants would suggest that we are. As we begin our campaign to demand diversity in the clinical research space, we invite you to listen up and really tune in to the reality of why and where our industry is failing in respect of diversity and inclusion. This podcast is jam-packed with genuine insights from the general public across a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. Ready to listen what they have to say?

With low awareness one of the biggest barriers to enrolling participants onto clinical trials, episode two investigates just how much people do or don’t know about clinical research.

What springs to mind when you think of clinical research? How do you feel about healthcare? Episode one of the Demand Diversity podcast digs deep into people’s perceptions of both. Why is this important? Well, unless we understand how people really think and feel, how can we even begin to change it? Listen and see if the general public’s perceptions are what you’d imagine them to be.
